Winter breaks in Landmarks

Explore the magic of a wintry Landmark break, the promise of roaring fires, frosty walks and festive celebrations to enjoy in the surrounding areas.

Larger Landmarks ideal for hosting

A Landmark experience is even better when you can share it with the people you love. If you’re seeking a large holiday home to host a big birthday, reunion or family get-together, then consider our selection of group stay properties, which cover the length and breadth of the country and come with large kitchens and dining spaces for gathering in.

Author and journalist Dixe Wills was among the first through the doors of our newest Landmark, the Station Agent’s House in central Manchester. Here Dixe reflects on his highlights from a weekend stay.

Local's Guide to Tivoli

Perched above a dramatic valley just outside of Rome, the former monastery of Sant’Antonio was built over a Roman villa believed to have belonged to the poet Horace. Landmark’s Italy Manager Elena Manafredi shares her local knowledge of this very special region.

Landmarks loved by kids

All of our Landmarks are extraordinary in their own way, but some come with that extra sprinkling of magic that make them adored by our younger guests. Whether it’s a secret tunnel, a former railway or a particularly fairytale-worthy setting, these properties all have that special something guaranteed to unlock children’s imaginations and create some incredible family memories.

Tremendous Towers

Adorned with fairytale turrets and romantic rooftops offering sweeping views, a restorative break in a tower promises to be an unforgettable holiday. Nestled in rural landscapes and perched on the edge of towns and villages, we have 18 towers from two to six stories high, built across different periods in history and varying in architectural design.

We’ve rounded up seven of these extraordinary buildings, each ready to elevate your holiday to the next level.

A writer's paradise

In the realm of writing, inspiration can spring from unexpected places and life's challenging moments. For writer Cath Holland whose husband died of bowel cancer in 2019, grief was such an assault on her both physically and emotionally that her own creativity and imagination was stunted. Her personal story was too painful to write about. It was on a 50 For Free stay at The White House in Shropshire that Cath found the space and solace to write a new short story.
